NEW YORK – At the New York Auto Show, Chevrolet reveals the compact 2011 Cruze Eco. This high-efficiency model is powered by a 1.4L Ecotec turbocharged engine with variable valve timing that achieves an estimated 40 mpg on the highway when combined with a six-speed manual transmission. Cruze Eco is expected to deliver the best fuel economy in the compact segment, while offering midsize car presence.
Chevrolet also shows an optional RS sport appearance package for the Cruze LT and LTZ trim levels.
Cruze is the first in a family of all-new Chevrolet small and compact cars designed to offer excellent fuel economy, outstanding quality and top safety ratings. Cruze models for the United States and Canada will be produced at the Lordstown, Ohio assembly complex. In February, Chevrolet announced the addition of a third shift at Lordstown that will add 1,200 workers to support a smooth, fast and flawless ramp-up of Cruze production. More than $350 million has been invested to re-tool the plant and add new, state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment.

Every Wednesday night at 9:30 PM Eastern, we all get together on GM Enthusiast Network's IRC server in channel #jbo-general for chat night. If you don't have an IRC client, you can click on CHAT on the left side of your screen directly under the forums listing on j-body.org. (GMDelta and Ecotec Power users just need to type "/join #jbo-general" once you connect using the chat button).... You do not have to have an account on the forums to participate (although it would be cooler if you did).
See you all there Wednesday!!
